[quote=Anonymous]The good: we get sick a lot less. That’s been so great for not just our physical health, but my mental health as well. I was sick constantly for the year my DS was in day care and I was working. It really, really wore on me not just physically but mentally. I remember literally crawling into my then 6 month old’s room to change him in the middle of the night because we both had horrible stomach viruses and I just couldn’t even stand up straight. And I’m not sure who was crying more, me or him. I didn’t want to remember my previous baby’s early life like that.

The bad: I have a lot of guilt about not working ... I’m a good, patient parent who truly enjoys the time at home but I’m also really not good with the other stuff that sometimes goes along with being at home. I’m bad at home decorating, I have a “black thumb” and can handle only the most basic of yard work, I’m disorganized, and not great at coming up with kid activities outside of the usual library story times, going to the park or pool, errands, etc. [/quote]
